Grungy Circles

Yet again apologies for my lack of posts and visits, I am finding it a bit difficult keeping up at the moment! I will keep trying though. A grungy card today for a guy.

The colours are all Distress Inks - Mustard Seed, Wilted Violet, Dusty Concord, Lucky Clover and Broken China. I used various circle stencils and inked through with finger daubers and a dry baby wipe cause I didn't have enough daubers! When I had the pattern I liked, I spritzed with water then dabbed with kitchen roll so the ink was a little more muted then used two different sizes of bubble wrap to stamp some extra interest using some of the inks. Then I gave a light spritz with Abominable Snowman Glimmer Mist for a little shimmer. The sentiment came from a newly inked clear stamp set by My Favorite Things - Label Maker Sentiments - stamped in black Versafine then cut out and adhered to the card panel. I edged the panel with Wilted Violet Distress Ink then added to a black card base.

A great card Christine, I love your colours and your placement of the circles. It's not easy to make things look random and look good at the same time. Thank you for joining us at Bizzy Bec's Challenge, I wish you well.

Oh yes, very funky Chris, the layered circles are beautiful and I love how you used the bubble wrap, it really adds some lovely 'texture'! Thanks so much for joining in our 'Going Round In Circles' challenge at A Vintage Journey. Hugs, Anne xx

I'm sorry you are going through a bad patch, Chris, and I hope you feel better soon! (Don't worry about visits to me. xxoo) I really like your circles-galore card! The bubble wrap made a cool background for your bigger colorful circles! It's a great manly card! Thank you so much for playing in my NBUS Challenge #10 and joining in the optional theme! Love and hugs, Darnell

I live with my husband and I have a grown up son and daughter. I love crafting, but don't do as much as I would like, as I suffer from ME. I like the feeling you get from completing a project and the reaction from the person who receives it.
